Shivamogga: BJP stalwart Eshwarappa hits back at people harping on spiralling prices


Daijiworld Media Network - Shivamogga (SP)

Shivamogga, Jun 24: Minister and BJP stalwart, K S Eshwarappa, said that rising prices of essential commodities will not have any bearing on the government.

He was responding to the question raised by media persons about the steep increase in the prices of essentials. He pointed out that rice was sold at two rupees per kg when India became independent. He asked the people to compare the current price of rice, pulses and all other items to the prices prevailing then. He justified the increase of prices of commodities over a period of time, terming it as a natural process.

The minister went on to say that a hike in the prices of commodities will not affect the government. "We have been working excellently in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The government has been providing free vaccines to everyone and free ration to poor families. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who has been providing both these things without passing on any financial burden to the people, is a brilliant leader. Because of his capabilities and initiatives, the people of the country have become his staunch supporters," Eshwarappla explained.

At the same time, Eshwarappa requested the opposition parties not to link election and Covid-19. He said if they raise this topic, his party will explain to the people about the real facts.

    Mr. Eeshwarappa, The salaries also for ministers during independence was 500 Rupees and there were no cars/flights for them/Housing allowance was 50 Rupees or so. Thus we want will write to the government to pay you as per the time of Indian Independence. Mujhe mera joota yaad aata hai when I see this guy's face.

Why????….It’s your creation spiralling prices in the country.

    Yo Mr. Eshwarappa, when was the last you filled fuel with your own money ?? When was the last tour salary wasnt in tandem with rising prices ?? When was the last you waiting at a traffic signal ?? When was the last you stood in the Q for your vaccination or ration or to exchange your notes during demonitization?? If tou haven't done any one of the above, you dont qualify to justify price hike. You are irrational. You got issues when congress does it but justify when you do it. Stop your drama and understand the pulse of the people

    Dear Minister, Get your facts right when you speak in public. Rice was selling @2Rs per Kg in 1947???? When I told this to my Dad he just laughed and said good joke. At 2 Rs. during that time one fully gunny bag (equivalent) of rice was available. I hope he knows when India became Independent. Tomorrow he might even say that he participated in Dandi March and went to Jail to make India Independent same like his boss who went to Jail to make Bangladesh independent.
